Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in a science or engineering discipline.
• Minimum of 2 years of experience in modeling and simulation-based research within the medical device industry or equivalent.
• Hands-on experience with FEA tools (e.g., ANSYS, Abaqus, LS-Dyna), CAD software (e.g., Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks), and custom programming languages (e.g., Fortran, Matlab, Python).

Preferred:

• Master’s or PhD in Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering.
• Familiarity with musculoskeletal simulation platforms such as OpenSim.
• Strong understanding of mechanics, material science, and product development processes.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to author detailed technical reports and scientific publications.
• Proven ability to support research initiatives from concept through to practical recommendations and outcomes.
